And all through the house
the garbage bags were filled
to the brim, overflowing with
torn wrappings, smashed boxes
from presents galore that litter the floors.
Tired parents and grandparents
drag from all the family activities:
a nativity play, puzzles, games and much more.
Time to rest from holiday fun
and get back to normal life
but the roads are all snowy
and we might not be able
to drive home so vacation
may continue until New Years.
